Hover autos: all about timing, quick feet, and smooth collective control. 🚁⚡️
Nathan and Dave out on the pad getting hover autorotations dialed in. Sharp reflexes and repetition are what turn a basic maneuver into second nature when it matters most.

Some views aren’t meant to be seen from the ground. 🚁🏔️🚂

Flying alongside the legendary Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad through the San Juan Mountains is one of those moments that reminds you just how incredible aviation can be.

At Colorado Highland Helicopters, this is our classroom.

We offer real-world, high-altitude mountain flight training designed to build capable, confident pilots in some of the most demanding terrain in the country. From turbine transitions and mountain courses to advanced helicopter training, we don’t just teach you to fly—we train you to operate.

Not a pilot? You can still experience it.

We also offer custom helicopter tours and experiences throughout Southwest Colorado. Bring the camera, bring someone special, and let us build a flight you’ll never forget.

This could be you.

Part 3 of our Preflight Series is live, and JD is walking us through the main rotor head and control linkages! 🚁🔧
In this clip, JD highlights the critical preflight checks up top—inspecting the main rotor hub, pitch change mechanisms, and control rods for security, freedom of movement, and proper lubrication.
Everything above the mast is high-stakes real estate, so catching any abnormal wear or play here is key before you ever lift off.
Pilots and mechanics: what’s your go-to visual check when inspecting the rotor head? Drop it in the comments below! 👇
